No money, no campaign

Unusual candor from a candidate who tells it like it is as he drops out. Spiceblog reports:

Attorney Lee Jones, one of two announced candidates to replace District Attorney E. Michael McCann, said today that he is pulling the plug on his campaign. That leaves Assistant District Attorney John Chisholm, McCann's pick to be his successor, as the only candidate still in the November contest.

"We've not met any of our fund-raising goals," said Jones, a 32-year-old criminal defense attorney...

Not "I want to spend more time with my family" or "pursuing other opportunities."

Refreshing. (Unless, of course, there's more to it. See how cynical we've all gotten?)
